The baby killer was reduced to tears as images of her home, taken by a crime scene officer in the aftermath of her arrest, were shared in court.

Baby killer Lucy Letby's childlike bedroom hinted at a desire to live in the past, according to an expert. Forensic psychologist Dr Naomi Murphy said the room had an "immature feel" that suggested the murderer may have struggled to let go of her younger years.

Letby, thought to be the UK's most prolific child serial killer, was reduced to tears as snaps of her untidy room were shown on the big screen in court. Two teddy bears could be seen on her unmade bed, alongside a pink dressing gown and fairy lights, which hung over her bedside.

Dr Murphy added: "Personally, I don't think we can set too much store in what her bedroom looks like. There are other young women who wear a lot of pink, decorate their cars with flowers, and who still like a cuddly toy on their bed.
